So you have no comments on this
You keep going on about evolution requires faith , there is proof of evolution through DNA, fossil evidence and other experiments.
After all we all share a very high percentage of our DNA with the great apes, and to a lesser extent monkeys and a lower percentage with all other living creatures would you care to explain that.
So can you make a comment other than faith about the above or is that a struggle for you

Does ConspiracyNutJob have two names well since you have jumped in please show me fossil proof as far back as possible of a skeleton 100% IDENTICAL to a modern man, if we or animals have NOT evolved we should find remains in the very very very distant past to prove it.
Experiments with bacteria are over 10's of thousands of generations (as they multiply quicker than us) as a human generation is considered as 20-25 years that's a very long time NOW go prove what you claim an let nutjob answer!!!
Faith
b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust

Nope faith isn't needed for science.

The fossil record is dated using the age of the rock, the rock is dated using the age of the fossils. Circular reasoning...

While that may have been true 100 years ago, nowdays radiometric dating methods are used.

Probably because your assertion is a lie.
You dont believe it works, scientists dont use the method you describe... so whats to discuss?
---
Edit - And before you reply, consider the following...
If your rebuttal is that radiometric dating methods are flawed, you therefore admit that you KNEW the methods existed, and deliberatly lied to your audience when you posted your dating method scenario.
Your only way out, to not be called a liar, is to say you were ignorant that radiometric dating methods exist.

The fossil record is real alright but it does not prove evolution.
Correct on the second part.

I beg to differ. We have transitional fossils. To give some examples: Pakicetus, Ambulocetus, Kutchicetus, Artiocetus and Aetiocetus. Look at this in succession and guess what? It's the evolution of the whale. I believe that's called proof.

You are free to interpret the data in a way that supports your belief, just don't call it science.

Quite the argument you have there.
You are once against using the assumption that man was even created by evolution to bolster your evolution argument even further. Perhaps the reason there are no modern man skeletons past a certain time was because modern man didn't exist, but obviously you already knew this.
However, being predominated swayed by evolution you assume that modern man didn't exist because he had not yet "evolved" yet. You dismiss every other possible theory by using the creation of man in a circular argument with itself by stating the simple assumption "since man did not exist at this time, he must have evolved later" and you are using that as some kind of "proof" of evolution.
As I said before I am an agnostic. I believe in the possibility of intelligent design or scientific design in many different forms. Evolution could be real and it could be the truth, but the argument you just provided does nothing back falls back upon itself time and time again.

I fail to see your point. We can look at the fossils of all the above listed creatures and see - very clearly - the evolution of the whale. Thus destroying your case completely. And it is science, no matter how much you might wish otherwise.

Ummm.... No we don't.
We see a bunch of different fossils, that is all.

You see the evolution of the whale because you already subscribe to evolution. To a person who doesn't have a predisposed opinion they see a bunch of skeletons, albeit similar in nature.
It takes an evolutionist to ASSUME that by looking at it that they are connected and derived from one another. If I used that assumption in everyday life it would not work out too well simply based upon looks.
